I know that being a role player isn't "sexy", but imagine if you really had a defined role on your team based on what path you chose in My Player? As it is now, you always become the equivalent of Oscar Robinson, just getting close to triple doubles in everything and doing it all for your team, offline. And that just translates to a boring team concept in crew as well and supports the "Who's gonna to stand at the top of the key and iso motion this play?" mentality. That being said, I love all of the improvements. 2k really works hard on their games and it is really appreciated.

only certain abilities should be capped according to position and height

Erick,

I applaud you and the team for the MY Player mode. It's the only mode I even play anymore, not b/c the Franchise or on-line aren't well done, but b/c this mode is just getting to be down right ****. My hats off for what you and the team have done and for what you look like you're about to do!

I am in the same boat. It is not like the other modes arent to my liking, but it is one of the best(if not best) BAP/MP mode in a sports game. And with the changes now it looks like I will play it more, especially if teammates play better. My Player has a great blend of having not only in-game features, but out of-game features. I dont think there is another game that does it. With Endorsements, Donations, Hanging with Teammates, HOF, Billboards, Interviews, it is more than just about playing games. Most of the other BAP/MP, just focus about games only.
NBA My Player looks to hold to the crown and has to be compared to MP

Sweet news for my favorite mode! I stopped playing MP in 2k11 because I was almost 90 OVR after one season (6'3'' 190 lb PG), I got tired of having to get 40, 10 and 10 every game just to have a CHANCE of winning, and I got tired of the ridiculous amount of bumping and suction into defenders who try to deny you movement and the ball. I hope they really mean it when they say teammate AI is better. Now that we get to call plays, I hope we can call plays in positions other than PG cuz i'm thinking about either a SG or SF for 2k12.
